10. Belinda and her young teenage son Tom both enjoy being outdoors.
Belinda wants to go walking and then find a nice cafe to relax in. Tom gets
bored just walking and prefers other activities~ especially sports
Country Walks
A. Lime House and Country Park
The house attracts thousands of visitors, but this is a pleasant walk (for
the fit!) away from the crowds, through parkland, woods and up onto the hills.
Popular with bird-watchers. Allow three hours. The house was built in 1570.
Gardens closed to the public; information centre, cafe and souvenir shop open
daily.
B. Howden Lake
This two-hour walk attracts thousands of visitors. When the water is low,
you can see a village which was flooded 300 years ago. Quiet cafe with
beautiful views. Children can go sailing and windsurfing on the lake with
trained instructors.
C. Devonshire Park
Take a really enjoyable walk in the countryside surrounding the park.
Allow at least half a day, or make it a full day by visiting the adventure
playground and farmyard (both great for young children). Stop at the cafe
(open all day) or enjoy the fantastic gardens, with beautiful fountains. Guided
walks available for small groups
D. Stanton
This walk is definitely for very fit walkers only - the tracks get very
slippery after rain. Allow six hours and start early! You’re unlikely to meet
another person all day. Fantastic views of farmland in the valleys below. Be
sure to pack sandwiches – you’ll be up on the hilltops all day.
E. Hope Village
A leisurely way to spend an hour or two is by visiting the busy village of
Hope with its lovely old cottages, traditional pubs and country gardens. A
gentle walk towards the hills will soon bring you to superb views.
F. Strines
You need to be used to walking to successfully complete this seven-
hour walk through the wildest scenery in the area. Follow a little-known
footpath to the highest point for miles. The traditional pub down in the village
serves hot food from 12.00 daily.
G. Cornford
This is an easy walk through a little-known valley beside clear streams
with woodland flowers, birds and animals. See the 200-year- old buildings
from the cloth-making industry which now stand empty. Private tours can be
arranged. Allow half a day for the walk.
H. Langsett
After a steep climb, this is an exciting walk along easy paths, which are
crowded at weekends (people come from all over Britain to climb Langsett).
The views are dramatic, and it's a popular place for family picnics. Guided
walks start from the nearby village (10 am Sundays) and visit 800-year-old
woodland and ruins dating back two thousand years.
